Hi everyone!

I discovered Destructoid by tuning into an episode of RetroforceGO! one fateful day and the rest is history. So far I like what I've seen here and I hope we can be friends.

Some fun facts:

I'm 34 and have been gaming since 1981. I loved E.T. on the Atari 2600, but was 8 years old and didn't know any better.
My favorite systems of all time are the Sega Saturn and Nintendo DS and I worship RPGs, Shmups, and Fighting games, especially from the old days. I miss the hell out of Working Designs and reading Diehard GameFan. You can have my 2D gaming when you pry it from my cold, dead fingers. Every week that goes by that Earthbound isn't released on the Virtual Console, baby Jesus cries. Nintendo, why do you hate Jesus so much??

Now playing:

KNIGHTS IN THE NIGHTMARE
Crimson Gem Saga
God of War II
Pokemon Platinum



Some favorite games of mine:

Earthbound
Shenmue
Guardian Heroes
Chrono Trigger
Street Fighter Alpha 2 Gold
Lunar I and II
Metal Slug
Radiant Silvergun
Final Fantasy VI
Zelda: Link to the Past
God of War
NiGHTS: Into Dreams
Earth Defence Force 2017
